Cheese Squares
Crackers have to be one of my favorite snack foods, in whatever shape, size, or flavor.
I must have acquired my love from them from my Grandmother Katie as she always had them in her cupboard and we would snack on them during my visits. She enjoyed a cocktail while I sipped on tea. Times have changed but the and so has my drink of choice.
